Large Corneal Transplants in Corneal Destructive Disease
Klinische Monatsblätter für Augenheilkunde, 1994Forty nine keratoplasties were performed in 18 eyes of 17 patients with severe corneal destructive disease.One eye became phthisical and 5 others lost useful visual acuity but retained a satisfactory cosmetic result. No eyes were enucleated. Recurrence of the host disease in the graft was the largest cause of visual failure. Primary allograft rejection

Corneal Sensitivity and Tear Function in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Current Eye Research, 2015 Ornek, Nurgul/0000-0003-3068-1831Purpose: To measure corneal sensitivity and tear function in neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) and to compare them with age and sex-matched controls. Methods: Twenty patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), 20 patients with

The role of lipids in corneal diseases and dystrophies: a systematic review
Clinical and Translational Medicine, 2017 Corneal diseases are an extensive cause of blindness worldwide and continue to persist as a challenging public health concern. Recently, various lipid-based therapies have been advocated for the modulation of corneal diseases; however, the number of ...

The cornea is naturally transparent. Anything that interferes with the cornea's stromal architecture, contributes to blood vessel migration, increases corneal pigmentation, or predisposes to corneal edema, disrupts the corneas transparency and indicates corneal disease.

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2004
This article reviews conditions that primarily affect the corneal epithelium as distinct from corneal stromal diseases. Corneal ulceration is discussed elsewhere in this issue. The other corneal conditions include a variety of more subtle epithelial disease,which might colloquially be termed epitheliopathies, as well as uninfected indolent superficial ...

Metalloproteinases in Corneal Diseases
Cornea, 2012Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-dependent endopeptidases with the potential to degrade all types of extracellular matrix. The ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) family of peptidases was recently identified as cleaving the extracellular domain of transmembrane proteins. This was termed ectodomain shedding.

Phototherapeutic Keratectomy in Corneal Diseases
Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1993ABSTRACT We present our clinical strategy to treat corneal diseases with the excimer laser. Nine eyes with recurrent erosion after trauma, three eyes with band keratopathy, and one eye with secondary crystalline deposits and a leukoma adherens after perforating injury underwent excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK).

Evaluation of the results of HLA typing of 187 patients grouped into herpetic keratitis (37), non‐herpetic keratitis (43), keratoconus (42), endothelial dystrophy (23), stromal dystrophy (13), lues (5), and injuries (24), failed to show convincing deviations in any of the groups from a normal control series (2900 persons). Yet, as for the herpes group,

Corneal Surface Disease Topology
International Ophthalmology Clinics, 1998The specific morphology and distribution of corneal surface lesions may point toward a specific diagnosis and pathogenesis in individual cases (see Fig 1). Staining lesions may be fine (e.g., staphylococcal) or punctate (e.g., keratitis sicca). The size and appearance of staining and nonstaining lesions of the epithelium and subepithelial cornea may be

Imaging of Pediatric Corneal Diseases
Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2012Ocular imaging technologies continue to evolve and play increasingly important roles in both the diagnosis and management of corneal pathology. In addition to improved documentation of exam findings using increasingly better resolution photographs, newer modalities, including specular and confocal microscopy, can facilitate diagnosis by imaging single ...
